"Don't demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them to. Accept events as they actually occur. That way peace is possible."
- Epictetus, from The Art of Living

I spent some time today going back to the powerpoint used in our first team meeting this year. And specifically to the slide in which a mission statement, a vision, and core values were outlined. I encourage you to also, there's a lot of good stuff there that we must stay focused on. The quote above speaks to one of the core values - patience.

The weekend past is done, some went as we had hoped, some did not. We must learn from both. And both will make us better. Our focus now is to use the upcoming opportunity to move our program forward, to become the vision we desire. That must be the focus of not just the seven who will race, but the focus of all.
